cAnalyzeGetSolverOption_1 Method

Retrieves the model solver options.

Namespace:  ETABS2016
Assembly:  ETABS2016 (in ETABS2016.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Syntax
Copy
int GetSolverOption_1(
	ref int SolverType,
	ref int SolverProcessType,
	ref bool Force32BitSolver,
	ref string StiffCase
)

Parameters

SolverType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the solver type.
  • 0 = Standard solver
  • 1 = Advanced solver
  • 2 = Multi-threaded solver
SolverProcessType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the process the analysis is run.
  • 0 = Auto (program determined)
  • 1 = GUI process
  • 2 = Separate process
Force32BitSolver
Type: SystemBoolean
This is True if the analysis is always run using 32-bit, even on 64-bit computers.
StiffCase
Type: SystemString
The name of the load case used when outputting the mass and stiffness matrices to text files. If this item is blank, no matrices are output.

Return Value

Type: Int32
Returns zero if the options are successfully retrieved; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
